The agreement - which involves 500 Ballard FCmove®-HD+ zero-emission modules - represents the largest single commitment from New Flyer since the partnership began. With deliveries due to begin later this year, the fuel cell engines will power the customer's Xcelsior CHARGE FC™ decarbonized public transit buses across North America.
This latest agreement underpins the strong and productive working relationship between the partners and the encouraging growth in Ballard-powered zero-emission transit buses from New Flyer, which now stretches 11 states across North America - with nearly 150 units in daily operation with numerous agencies throughout California; as well as significant decarbonized fleets in regular service in Nevada, Ohio, Washington, and Manitoba.
Today, Ballard-powered fleets have grown to more than 2,200 fuel cell buses worldwide, collectively logging over 250 million kilometers with 98% availability and zero reported safety incidents.
With additional sales of Ballard Fleet Services — including training, technical support, parts supply, operational monitoring, digital insights, and ongoing stack servicing – Ballard and its customers unlock additional value that strengthens fleet performance.
